executive leadership team. Mark Morgan has been promoted to executive
vice president and chief revenue officer, responsible for the company’s
global sales organization. This change comes as Razat Gaurav, who has
held the same responsibility since October 2015, leaves the company to
pursue other opportunities. In addition, JDA has appointed David Rye to
the newly created role of senior vice president of strategy and
corporate development, responsible for shaping JDA’s corporate strategy
around its portfolio, services, cloud and go-to-market approach.
Morgan most recently served as senior vice president of sales for JDA’s
North American operations. Prior to that, he served as regional vice
president of sales for the company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa
operations and as vice president leading the JDA’s North American
manufacturing sales organization. Morgan served in a variety of
presales, sales and consulting roles at i2 Technologies from 1999 until
the company’s acquisition by JDA in 2010. Prior to joining i2, he worked
in consulting at Manugistics (eventually acquired by JDA) and had
multiple roles within supply chain at Ford Motor Company. Morgan holds a
bachelor of science degree in logistics management from Michigan State
University and an MBA in finance from University of Detroit Mercy.
“Mark has excelled in leading our field organizations in both domestic
and international markets. He is a consummate customer advocate, brings
deep supply chain domain expertise, builds strong teams and collaborates
across the organization—all key ingredients to be able to effectively
lead our global sales organization,” said Girish Rishi, JDA chief
executive officer. “I am also grateful for the contributions Razat has
made to JDA, and previously i2, through the many years he’s been a part
of the company. He has been a passionate leader, contributing to the
positive momentum of the business.”
Rye joined JDA in April 2017. From 2007 to 2016, he was with Informatica
Corporation, where he served as senior vice president of corporate
development responsible for strategy, corporate and business
development, strategic investments, and operational transformation
initiatives. Rye played a pivotal role in helping drive Informatica’s
revenue growth from $390 million to $1.1 billion. Rye helped drive the
company’s organic growth strategies coupled with the acquisition and
integration of numerous companies. Prior to spending nine years in the
software industry at Informatica and Hyperion Solutions, Rye spent over
five years as a private equity investor at Thayer Capital Partners and
Atlas Venture. Rye began his career in investment banking at Robertson
Stephens & Co. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in Economics from
Princeton and a master of business administration from Stanford Graduate
School of Business.
“The enterprise software space and the supply chain market are both in a
state of enormous change as product innovations, unique services
offerings and new business models emerge,” continued Rishi. “In order to
continually raise our game, strategically align with our stakeholders
and deliver the most compelling set of solutions in the marketplace, we
are bringing on David Rye to lead our strategy and corporate development
initiatives. JDA will benefit from David’s experiences in the enterprise
software industry and his proven approach toward strategy that creates
enormous value, as he collaborates with both external and internal
partners.”
